Brighton v Sheffield Wednesday Preview & History

Last updated : 26 March 2004 By Bob Gear
Brighton are expecting to start with the same line-up that defeated Col U 2-1 at Withdean last Saturday. Danny Cullip is likely to have fully recovered from the thigh strain he picked up in that game.

Paul Reid was the only piece of deadline day transfer business done by Mark McGhee yesterday. Paul, an Aussie under 21 midfielder, has signed for the rest of the season. He was spotted while Albion scouts were watching Chris Iwelumo, the other recent signing.

Trevor Benjamin was the other target, however Micky Adams has decided he is needed at Leicester.

Iwelumo has proved to be a great signing so far, having scored in each of the games he has played, as well as setting up the winner for Little Leon Knight against Colchester.

Chris Turner's rant at Leon Knight yesterday (see story here) will have done nothing to improve Knights opinion of the Wednesday boss. Knight was fired up for the previous encounter bteween the teams this Season, scoring in the 2-0 win at Withdean, and celebrating in front of the Wednesday bench.

We've never won a game at Hillsborouggh, though we have beaten the owls once away from home. that was at Highbury in the FA Cup semi-final in 1983.
